Description & Features+

Kacey Musgraves could easily be contemporary country's next big thing. She's a sharp, detailed songwriter with a little bit of an edge, and while it's tempting to think of her as another coming of Taylor Swift, say, she's got the kind of relaxed sureness about what she's doing as a songwriter and performer that puts her closer to a Miranda Lambert. On her first nationally distributed album, Same Trailer Different Park, she definitely sounds more on the Lambert side of things, with a sparse, airy sound that lets her lyrics shine, and she'd as soon use a banjo in her arrangements as a snarling Stratocaster. From her debut single, the marvelous "Merry Go 'Round" (which is included here as the third track), Musgraves showed an intelligent, careful writing style that is as pointed as it is poignant, and even though the song seems to skewer small-town country life, it does it without malice or agenda, and is really more just telling it true than anything else, a trait that ought to be treasured in Nashville but usually isn't. Nashville wants one to tell it true as long as that telling conforms to the template, which Musgraves isn't likely to do. "Merry Go 'Round" might be the best song here, but there are others that are nearly as good, like the lilting, wise opener, "Silver Lining," the implausible "Dandelion" (one wonders how she manages to make such a winning song out of such a metaphor, but she does), and the gutsy (and again, wise) "Follow Your Arrow," all of which feature clear-eyed observations, unintrusive but appropriate arrangements, and a certain flair for telling it like it is and making it sound like bedrock, obvious wisdom. Musgraves has a sense of humor, too, and all of these traits add up to make Same Trailer Different Park more than a collection of songs just aiming for the country charts. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi

Kacey Musgraves - Same Trailer Different Park is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 14.

Rated 5 out of 5 by KenTLEdood from Not your average girl muscian next doorDon't let the Vogue like album cover fool you! Kacey Musgraves' debut album, Same Trailer Different Park, is the real deal. Her singing is pure country for sure, but her raw and spunky attitude is what makes it truly special. The album has only been out for a few days but I have already listened to it nonstop and I'm already convinced that, Same Trailer Different Park, is one of the best albums of 2013. What makes Kacey Musgraves totally awesome is her simple, yet witty songwriting. Kacey sings "If you're ever gonna' find a four-leaf clover, you gotta' get a little dirt on your hands" on the opening track, Silver Lining. The album is full of spunky lyrics from start to finish but it's difficult to reference it here due to strictness. Let's just say Kacey will roll it if she had it. And drinking is totally A-OK. Her lyrics are inspirational because it is easy for most working class people like us to relate to. The album somehow encourage us to be happy no matter what. Musically, the songs on Same Trailer Different Park is playful with different flavors: the bluesy "Blowin' Smoke" (track 5) reminiscent of the one and only, Luncinda Williams. How about them heart wrenching surf guitar leads on "I Miss You" (track 6)? These songs have an indie sound to them which makes it truly special. In summary, Same Trailer Different Park, is spunky, raw, contains simple but brilliant lyrics, and overall has a charming attitude. Kacey Musgraves' debut is truly a rare gem.
